La Séptima Banda
Seguimos de Frente
Album · Regional Mexican · 2022
Since the mid-’90s, La Séptima Banda has reliably doled out all manner of banda, ranchera, and corrido fare for their fans. This sprawling and elastic ensemble sticks to that crowd-pleasing approach with Seguimos de Frente. From the embittered kiss-off of “Ya Lo Pensé Mejor” to the drag-racing blowout of “Las Rutas”, the 16-track project speaks to the sheer variety that this massive group can command with their lush instrumentation and strong vocal performances. Thoroughly soused drinking anthems like “Borracha Pero Buena Muchacha” and profoundly romantic moments like “Junto a Ti” successfully capture so much of what defines life for their listeners.
